Comment on Samsung schedules Galaxy event 5 days before Apple's

  Bro, what sort of hate-train are you on?

  You can dislike the iPhone, that’s totally cool and your prerogative. But making up lies just looks silly.

  You can’t install or update a single app on a google play protected phone without an account either, and now that sideloading is getting locked down your options are even fewer. And what’s this nonsense about no calculator? The iPhone has had a calculator since 2007.

    You can literally download any apk and install it in seconds. You can also install any app store like f-droid and install free software.

    I really dont understand your corporate loyalty - is Apple paying you?

      You ARE making shit up though. Is Samsung paying YOU?

        Its not in effect yet and you will still be able if the developer of the app signs the app with their verified email which is 99% of the apps. You can also just disable Google Play protect. I’m a dev and poke ADB every day for security tests.

        Don’t get me wrong it’s still very bad news but Apple’s side is infinitely worse.
